Preview of a piece for @a-destiny-forged zine! I saw a post on tumblr that just said “big buff orc girls. reblog if you agree.” I agreed so hard I had to draw it.
SPEAK SO HISTORY KNOWS WE DID NOT GO MEEKLY INTO THE DARK
BE A LIGHT
BURN IT DOWN
IT IS BETTER TO LIGHT A FLAMETHROWER THAN TO CURSE THE DARKNESS
Time to be punk. Time to direct that exhausting, heartbreaking rage.
Every hero that we look up to when we’re young tells us one thing: Do what’s right. Even if it doesn’t matter, even if it’s dangerous, even if you have to go against a corrupt system. If you don’t, who will? Be the hero you’ve always wanted to be. Change the world. Make it better.
“Winning? Is that what you think it’s about? I’m not trying to win. I’m not doing this because I want to beat someone, or because I hate someone, or because I want to blame someone. It’s not because it’s fun. God knows it’s not because it’s easy. It’s not even because it works because it hardly ever does.. I DO WHAT I DO BECAUSE IT’S RIGHT! Because it’s decent! And above all, it’s kind! It’s just that.. Just kind. If I run away today, good people will die. If I stand and fight, some of them might live. Maybe not many, maybe not for long. Hey, you know, maybe there’s no point to any of this at all. But it’s the best I can do. So I’m going to do it. And I will stand here doing it until it kills me. And you’re going to die too! Some day.. And how will that be? Have you thought about it? What would you die for? Who I am is where I stand.. Where I stand is where I fall. Stand with me. These people are terrified. Maybe we can help a little. Why not, just at the end, just be kind?”
cynical nihilism is not an ethical or adequate response
The second Travis Tate talked about needing death metal blasting to code Hades I went ‘oh no. I think I kinda like that jerkass trash pile.’
